That's close, but what I think you'd want to do is allocate money, that is, drag your money from A to the savings bucket. Then transfer from A to B and mark that transaction as an expense against the Savings bucket. That's your "planned" savings amount for the month. That way, your Savings Account balance reflects your sort of "cushion" for use in overflow. To utilize those funds ,you'd allocate from your Savings account to an income bucket and then allocate funds from the bucket to your expense buckets as needed. Does that make sense?
